Pixel 11 Pro XL Wireless Charging Still Too Slow Despite 25W Claim
· Technology · Android Authority, Gadgets360
Google's PixelSnap charger delivers peak power of only about 23W on the Pixel 11 Pro XL, far short of the 25W it advertises and well below the 31W achieved by the Pixel 10 Pro XL on the older Pixel Stand. The charger takes roughly six minutes to reach peak power and cannot sustain it for more than a few minutes, keeping the phone mostly in the 15W range. The Pixel 11 Pro XL does maintain peak power slightly longer than its predecessor, which dipped to 10W within 30 minutes during last year's testing. Google is repromoting 25W wireless charging across its entire Pixel lineup while discontinuing the older Pixel Stand in favor of the PixelSnap.
Why it matters
Pixel phone users in India and globally who relied on the Pixel Stand for fast wireless charging will face noticeably slower top-ups with the PixelSnap, adding to the cost of ownership for a device that already competes closely with Samsung and OnePlus flagships on features. Anyone considering the Pixel 11 Pro XL needs to know that wireless charging remains a meaningful weak point compared to wired options and rival fast-charging implementations.
